MAGICAL 'MOERANGI'

House Sold - Days Bay Lower Hutt City

Loved and cherished by the same family for 4 generations over 100+ years, ‘Moerangi’ (of Sea and Sky) is a gracious and stately home, occupying a prime position with its double section in the dress circle of Days Bay, surrounded by sweeping lawns and delightful gardens, just an easy stroll up from the beach.

Moerangi retains much of its stunning ‘Arts and Crafts’ character features, with leadlights, beautiful native timbers, and even some of the original wallpapers are intact.

Elevated to capture excellent sun and glimpses of the harbour through the trees, the north facing front verandah is a room in itself and such a beautiful place to appreciate the garden and the abundant bird life.

The spacious entrance hall with its superb leadlight windows is one of the homes best features, and to the right is the original Drawing Room, with two circular stained glass windows and a well proportioned timber fireplace surround and bookshelves.

A second spacious living room also enjoys a north facing aspect and access to the front verandah, and a woodburner for cosy winter nights.

The very spacious and light kitchen can accommodate dining as well, and has proved to be extremely functional, as is the adjacent large laundry.

There are 5 good sized bedrooms, with the master bedroom particularly spacious and light filled. The two bathrooms have been modernised, and the house has been re-wired.

Hidden from the street, the modern double garage is accessed up the sweeping driveway to the side. There is also a separate single garage or boat shed at the street, which would be ideal for a dinghy and kayaks etc.

Having been in the family now for 4 generations and more than 100 years, this is the epitome of the saying ‘once in a lifetime’, and presents an opportunity for one lucky buyer to own one of the most precious and sought after properties ever to come to the market in Days Bay.
